MMOCREO Hub Selection Guide

Pick the right hub for your coverage and growth. LoRa for large areas, BLE for small areas, or Standalone for single-point monitoring.

  • Large areas / multi-room / multi-floor / heavy walls → choose a LoRa hub (H5Pro / H6Pro). LoRa hubs are compatible with all MOCREO sensors (LoRa + BLE).
  • Small areas / single room / short range → choose a BLE hub (H5Lite / H3 / H4) with BLE sensors.
  • No hub / single-point monitoring → choose a Standalone device (e.g., NS1 / ST7CL / NM1) that connects over Wi-Fi.

Rule note: LoRa hubs support all MOCREO sensors (LoRa + BLE). BLE hubs support BLE sensors only.

Model Recommendations

H5Pro

LoRa Hubs (Large Area)

  • Best for: warehouses, multi-store restaurants, multi-floor sites, basements, thick walls.
  • Why: wide coverage, higher capacity, and compatibility with all MOCREO sensors (LoRa + BLE).
  • Models: H5Pro / H6Pro
BLE_Hub-collections

BLE Hubs (Small Area)

  • Best for: kitchens, racks, single rooms and short-range spots.
  • Why: lightweight deployment and great value for single-zone coverage.
  • Models: H5Lite / H3 / H4
Standalone_collections

Standalone Devices (No Hub required)

  • Best for: single-point monitoring or temporary/flexible installs.
  • Examples: NS1 / ST7CL / NM1

Example Bundles

  • Kitchen/Garage — LoRa or BLE
    • Best: LoRa hub + ST5 (temp) + ST6 (temp/RH) + SW2 (water leak)
    • Essential: BLE hub + ST5
  • Refrigerator / Cold storage
    • Essential: LoRa or BLE hub (based on coverage) + ST5 (temp)
  • Warehouse, multi-zone — LoRa hub + multi-point temp/RH, door, and leak sensors (optimal coverage; easy to expand)

Pre-Purchase Checklist

  • Coverage: multi-floor / heavy walls / large area? → LoRa. Otherwise → BLE or Standalone.
  • Compatibility: check the Compatibility section on the product page (App/System and Hub/Sensor match).
  • Deployment: Ethernet and power available? 
  • Growth: planning more nodes or longer distance later? Start with a LoRa hub.

FAQ

Add more BLE Hub to increase the signal coverage.

Or upgrade to a LoRa hub (H5Pro/H6Pro). It works with your existing BLE sensors and lets you add LoRa nodes.

New deployments should use the MOCREO Smart App. Some current devices are Sensor-App-only—always check CompatibilityBoth apps remain actively supported.
